Re: [RBW] FS Feeler: 62cm Appaloosa frameset, RBW Blue

[Philip Williamson]

Awesome. “Like a bottle around a campfire.”
We need a word for the bikes that have a strong BOB-ish provenance. That was a 
fantastic bike, moved along when I got the Frances, which has the best tall 
headtube ever. “Campfire Bottles”

Agreed that Reid was a fantastic trading partner, as was Eric on the Singular 
originally. If I knew you could get 27.2 dropper posts back then, I might have 
kept it. I’m having a similar bike built with cantilever brakes and top-run 
cables.

Re: [RBW] Did you have a 2018 cycling goal? Did you achieve it?

[Robert F. Harrison]

So...2018 was not a great cycling year mileage-wise (down from 2017 which
wasn't high either). The thing is, I've been involved in a volunteer
position that's kept me either busy or traveling about every other weekend.
With that, I haven't been able to keep up my long weekend rides (usually at
least a 30-50 mile ride on one of the two days). And, of course, as I fell
out of cycling shape...sigh.

So my goal was to do an easy week-long tour somewhere I'd never been. As
one of my trips took me from Honolulu to New York, it became pretty
inexpensive (relatively speaking) to get to Europe. I was able to do a
week-long tour of northern Portugal!!! It was wonderful.

The rest of the year it's just been short commuting rides with maybe one
longer ride a month.

2019 promises to be different. My two year term of service has ended and I
can get back to my regular biking 'schedule.' And, to make it a bit more
goal oriented, I'm hoping to continue I ride I started a few years back. My
mainland cycling partner and I rode the Oregon coast a couple of years back
and we're hoping to continue on from the Oregon border to Bay Area (which
means a Riv visit as a treat for completing it). Not sure of dates or
anything yet...but he's headed to Hawaii this holiday season and we'll work
out the details!

Aloha,

Bob

[RBW] Re: Did you have a 2018 cycling goal? Did you achieve it?

[Jon BALER]

I'm still working towards my goal, but I am on track to meet it.  My goal 
is to ride 300 days this year, and I track them by posting a photo from 
each day.   I've been done this for a few years now, but I take a break for 
a couple of years in between to keep it from getting to repetitive. 

https://www.flickr.com/photos/jon_baler/albums/72157664277091668

I'm up to 281 days/photos, but have some holiday vacations coming up which 
will limit my riding days.  Highlights of this year:

   - Seattle to Vancouver bike tour via the islands with my wife, which was 
   followed up with renting bikes during our Alaska vacation with extended 
   family.
   - Transferred to a new office in May, which completely changed my 
   commute.
   - Trained for and completed a 100 mile mountain bike race.
   - Rode every day in October.

I find it way more interesting than keeping a mileage log or using strava.  
:)

[RBW] Re: Riv Allrounder Cockpit/Parts Change Up

[Craig Montgomery]

I've gone through all those permutations, including Bullmoose, on my AR 
over the past two decades. Have  short arms/torso which makes positioning 
problematic. Eventually settled back onto drops, but this time VO 
Randonneurs. For me it was the lack of hand positions on long tours that 
killed the Bullmoose. With the moustache bars it was the too low position 
without having the stem up around your chin. I rode with Noodles for years 
but the VO Randonneurs with their long reach and palm-filling slight uplift 
on the straight sections was the clincher. Plus the shallow drop allowed an 
on-the-drops climbing steep dirt grades position that was comfortable but 
allowed a wee bit of stretch for a sore back. Don't think I'll be going 
back for the duration.

[RBW] WTB: Challenge Paris-Roubaix Clincher, Single or Pair

[sameness]

Hi all, I'm looking for either a single or pair of Challenge Paris-Roubaix 
tires in the polyester casing (not the cotton variant). 

Any condition considered, and used preferable since I really only need one 
of them to test clearance on a new roadie I picked up.

In the current lineup this would be the Paris-Roubaix PRO 
, but 
I'd be up for checking out the plain vulcanized clincher if you have one or 
two.

PM me with what you've got and a price including shipping to ZIP 90064 and 
we can take it from there, please and thanks!

Works great with the 11-32 cassette and dura ace bar end shifters! Only
about 100 miles on the bike so far but no issues yet.

Re: [RBW] FS Feeler: 62cm Appaloosa frameset, RBW Blue

[Reid Echols]

The Gryphon seems to have found a happy home here in Austin, but you never 
know! My BMC (and now my Soma GR) was a similar offender. The tall tube on 
the Clem gives it a very stately presence. 

I'd say if you want to run drops the Appa may well be a touch long for you. 
If you want to run Jones, bullmoose (like I am), or albatross, it may well 
be spot on. I've got a lot of seatpost showing compared to my other Rivs.

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: Nitto 32F Mini-Front (new)

[Joe Bunik]

Cody,
I can't speak to using it on the rear, but I'll betcha someone's tried
it at least once! ;-)

Riv forks (canti-Riv forks, that is) generally have barrel braze-ons
high up on the leg and intended for use with this rack. Sadly, I never
made the leap for the Hunqapillar I'd dreamt of when I acquired the
rack. That and my Legolas doesn't have rack mounts.

I believe it also works with the Platrack system.

This isn't adjustable in any way is it? But is sized well enough to fit Riv 
frames and have the platform level and fairly close above the tire? Can it 
be used front and rear?

Hard-to-find pair of NIB, 29 x 2.25 *gumwall* knobbies from
Fairweather / Panaracer / Blue Lug. Unfortunately, they're just not
going to fit any of my builds.

 Hello all,

 I may, once again, be considering selling my lovely 62cm Appaloosa
 frameset, since there's a new (used) Homer in my life, thanks to Reed. It
 may not be the time of year for selling bicycles, but possibly one of you
 would like a winter project, or live in a place like I do (Austin), where
 winter is riding season!

 The bike is built now, but I would probably like to keep its parts.
 Complete is an option, or somewhere in between, but we'd have to discuss

That Gryphon has been passed around the iBOB list like a bottle around a
campfire. I guess that means it will eventually come back to me?

My Clem is the 59cm, and I wouldn’t really want to go taller... though I
love the huge headtube on your 65cm. It’s funny, anymore I judge a bike’s
appearance by how long the headtube is. Taller always looks better, and I’m
not counting the cheater bikes that extend the head tube high above the top
tube (my BMC Monstercross is a minor offender here) Maybe everyone likes
the appearance of bikes that fit them. Short bikes look really strange to
me.

Anyway, I think your Joe is just a bit big for me, but I’ll enjoy thinking
about it for a while.

And thanks for the blog feedback!

hi gang

https://www.flickr.com/photos/joe_bunik/albums/72157698391443350

I've got a new/unused Nitto Mini-Front rack (32F, the one which plays
nice w/ canti-Rivs) which I don't have near-term foreseeable use for.
Can locate and include the (unused) p-clamps it came with if you need.

Asking $95+ship, or offer.

Hi Eric, 

I'm 6' 4'', with around a 94PBH. I believe I was an inheritor of your Singular 
Gryphon a while back? That was a great bike, and fit me pretty well, if that's 
any indicator :) I also ride a 65 Clem H (which I believe you have as well?) 
and it's on the upper Frenchiest end of what I'll fit, I'd say. More pics of my 
setup on that bike, and the Gryphon, on my instagram if you're curious: 
https://www.instagram.com/p/BqxW2FKFpLc/

I quite enjoy your blog, btw--nice to see tall-guy bikes set up well.

Re: [RBW] FS Feeler: 62cm Appaloosa frameset, RBW Blue

[Eric Daume]

How tall are you fellas that are riding a 62cm Joe App? At 6’3” with a 32”
saddle height, Riv’s geo chart puts me near the top end of a 58cm. I’m
wondering how that compares to actual experiences.

Thanks,

Eric

ONCE AGAIN, now for $325 (or best offer). Got teased along by a couple
tire-kickers but need this out of my garage!

Alternatively if you are interested in a Bruce Gordon touring rack, let me know.

Thanks

Re: [RBW] Re: Snow!

[Patrick Moore]

This sort of piddling little dusting is nothing to the epic falls that you
experience up around Woodland Park, but for us high desert dwellers, with
average (citywide; 5" to 14") 9" of precipitation a year in a normal year
-- we've been in and out of "severe" drought for the last 5-7 years -- an
unusually early snow fall that *actually stays on the ground for a few
hours!!!* is something to remark. I was riding the 2003 Curt through the
snowmelt and found the little excursion delightful.

We've not had "real" snow for several years -- these falls are
once-every-few-years. (Last 2016? rode to church that morning too, ~3-4";
this time on dirt acequia roads, on my Bontrager Race Lite; council
President said, "That's crazy!" I replied, "Great fun!").

Re: [RBW] Re: FS Feeler: 62cm Appaloosa frameset, RBW Blue

[Reed Kennedy]

Just wanted to chime in here and mention that Reid was an absolute pleasure
to deal with. He was honest and reliable throughout our trade. Plus he’s a
nice guy who genuinely cares about bikes and is just plain fun to talk to.

When Fedex screwed up the frame and parts he shipped me Reid was super
about it. Not just making sure they made it right (they did) but also
kindly and paitiently listening as I freaked out a bit, then helping
however he could.

If you’re a tall person looking for a nice Riv you already know the
Appaloosa is hard to beat. And you won’t find a better person to buy it
from than Reid (or a better price)!

Highly recommended.



Best,
Reed
(With two “e’s”.)
